Open letter to the Hadassah Medical Organization about the Cure Tinnitus Community at curetinnitus.org

Subject: Your Potential Collaboration in a Cure Tinnitus Community as an Experiment in Conscious Commerce
———————

Dear Hadassah Medical Organization,

This may sound unusual, but I’m contacting you to see if you would be interested in considering participating in an online endeavor in “conscious commerce” relating to supporting people with tinnitus. Your participation could be as little as providing a few articles or as in-depth as providing weekly webinars, and there are many options in between.

I understand that the “open letter” format is quite forward, and I hope that you will accept it as possibly the only way for me to gain the attention of the kinds of experts and organizations I wish to attract to this project. I already sent you an email, to which I received no reply, and I can only assume that my first attempt at contacting you just didn’t get through. Fortunately, your public reply will likely help more people than if we keep this between us.

The social experience will take place at curetinnitus.org, and here are the short details.

1) Support community for people dedicated to curing their own tinnitus
(taking full responsibility for their actions and health)

"If you really look
after yourself and learn to get in touch
with
how you are feeling inside and learn to process that, that is the way
out of tinnitus. Most people spend their whole lives running away from
themselves, filling their lives with furious frantic activity, proving
this, doing that. The best thing you can do is sit with yourself and
notice how you are, how you are treating yourself. And if you can treat
yourself with loving kindness and really accept how you are with a
really wonderful, open-hearted, deep, caring approach, just like you
would mother a baby, for example. If you can really look after
yourself, your nervous system will change. Nothing is fixed. Everything
is constantly changing and flowing, and it is entirely dependent on the
way you approach yourself. Look after yourself, and your tinnitus will
back off."

Wow,
good stuff...

“I REALLY
appreciate your asking Julian about my questions this
morning! You posed them in such a clear and dear way and protective of
my ‘identity”. It is amazing that I was home and able to listen. I had
over slept, (I am on vacation) had missed an early appointment for my
car and so I called, cancelled it and looked on my computer and it was
8 minutes to the broadcast! Was I surprised, delighted and grateful to
hear you both discuss the issues that are pressing me. I thank you. I
also am taking your website and Julian’s advice and working on
awareness of RED-ALERT and difficulty surrendering or relaxing into
support. Wow, good stuff. Julian reminds me a bit of Ekhart Tolle.
Doesn’t he you? And funny to say, you remind me of myself when you are
questioning him! With gratitude”

I really feel you're going to make some peoples' lives millions of times better. I really do.

I would just like to say thank you for what you are doing. This world is really lacking people like you that aren't all about themselves. It really makes me pleased to see that you're getting your and Julian's ideas out there, and I really feel you're going to make some peoples' lives millions of times better. I really do.

site….Thanks so much! I already referred the Yahoo forums
tinnitus group to your site and also 2 friends with tinnitus."

Solid and needed work

"It's not unethical
to say that it's incurable, it's just
totally
incorrect. In fact, if I go back and I look at the cases that I've
worked on, and I've worked with thousands of people over a decade, and
the vast majority, are either dramatically better, or their tinnitus is
gone. One of the two."

...my tinnitus was gone
""It is not coincidence that I saw your e-mail this am, right at the
time I realized my tinnitus was gone."

Dr.
Hans Greuel

"I can say in good
conscience that tinnitus is curable. That's
the
bottom line: that tinnitus is curable, and I dare say, for just about
everyone who comes down with it."

Please don't tell the ATA

"As I may have
mentioned earlier, ATA.org is incredibly mediocre (if
that much!), compared to your organization. I even found the
British T. site far superior to ATA.org and now, I have found you
guys!!!"

--R. S. Illinois

(Honestly, we want to stay friends
with the ATA and we cherish the work
they do...so let's keep this one between us...)

Great Conference Calls

calls are great as we can help each other”

"It's such an
incredibly low volume if I recognize it once a
week
it's just because I'm out in the backyard looking at the stars thanking
the universe for what it has given to me, and I go 'how did I get to
this point?" Oh yeah tinnitus helped me get here. Let's listen to it
for a second, let's pay hommage to the tinnitus for a second and go
thanks you did some good work. Thank you.

T
is becoming less and less noticable

"…with the help of
this site, I am learning to deal with [edited] and
my -T- is becoming less and less noticeable."

You Are Truly An
Insipration

"I just want to add
that you are truly an inspiration and I hope that
more people find your website. I find your videos (and especially this
one) to be enlightening, and it really gives me hope, and I’m sure
others too. God bless."

Literally clearing the fog
from 20 years of T

"the information,
research, support, and shows with dainis and julian
are literally clearing the fog of the T i have endured for 20 years.
it’s not about the ears it’s about the body and soul. i’m sure ancient
wisdom had more answers to T than the entire medical community has at
this time. this site is really quite groundbreaking."

Mental Clarity And Calm

"A very simple thing - progress for me today was after work,instead of "rushing" home because of fatigue, I walked down another street and sat in the sun with a warm beverage. This resulted in some mental clarity and calm, as well a experiencing a choice of a positive new behavior. It felt expansive...'cause T can lead one to be hemmed in."

--Member s.

RE: Gone?

"After a short period of T-free happyness, my T (scale 4/10) came back for a few weeks (stressfull times, bought a house etc..). Did lots of relaxation exercises, stretching and yoga and now it's gone again (scale 1/10). I would like to ask Julian about the following [...edited...]
Keep up the good work!!!"

Much Calmer About Tinnitus Now...

"When I started the programme shortly after developing T, I was terrified of tinnitus and felt that I had no control over it. I lay awake at night panicking that it would get worse. I am now much calmer about it, thanks largely to this site and Julian Cowan Hill's e-book which I strongly recommend. I am beginning to realise that my pace of life consistently exceeds my energy levels and that my T is probably connected to this. For me, T fluctuates a lot, but when I have a bad patch I comfort myself that it will probably lessen after a few days if I take better care of myself. I have only had a few minutes of total relief in the past five months, sometimes before going to sleep or early in the morning, but I'm aware that I have a long way to go in the personal wellbeing stakes, so it would be surprising if I were already better. The school holidays are a very busy time for me and the fact that I have got through them without a major tinnitus meltdown is itself encouraging. I shall be tuning in for the next show! Best wishes, D.H."

T subsided...

"After suffering from a catastrophic tinnitus for almost two years,it subsided in the last month to level 5 in a scale of 1-10 and sometimes even to level 2...My question is what will happen when I..."

Taking Better Care Of Myself

"information on T is settling in to my psyche, some underlying depression issues are being addressed, I'm getting on with life, taking care of myself better, and doing things I enjoy more. I have even recently shed a negative friend or 2...thank you"

Your site has helped IMMENSELY...

"I'm just 26 and enjoy loud music so was terrified when I thought my tinnitus was getting so bad that I'd hear it all the time. I went into a state where I kept monitoring it and thought that it had suddenly gotten really bad. This was about a week ago and coincided with a very stressful day so I suspected that had something to do with it. Your site has helped IMMENSELY in alleviating my concerns about it and now I'm pretty much totally over the fear that I'll have ringing in my ears my whole life. In fact, since a few hours after reading the information on your site, I've stopped noticing it at all, and I'm not worried about it when trying to sleep (I don't hear it during the day now because I'm not listening for it and I'm more relaxed so its quieter). Now that I'm proactively relaxing myself and trying to be happier in my life, the ringing has mostly subsided and I can only hear it when I put my fingers in my ears to create complete silence.
From suicidal thoughts to complete peace in under 2 hours. Thank you again!!"
PS: I even went to a Metallica concert last night and forgot to bring my earplugs -- and the tinnitus has not flared back

PPS From Dainis: Yes, we do have stories like these, though for some members, the process takes longer. In any case, it's enjoyable to come "out" from tinnitus and experience well being. Thanks Tegan for sharing :-)
